[quote=Anonymous]The thing about gentrification is that you can't have it both ways. You can't say that you don't want schools with concentrated poverty out of one side of your mouth, and then get resentful of the social and political power that gentrifiers bring to the school out of the other side. Their economic, social and political power - their know-how and willingness to make changes and get things done is why these women are the driving force behind good schools. If you want them to be a force for improvement, then you get the whole package. Otherwise, stop resenting them for feeling unwelcome in the poor deprived enclaves that they won't venture into.
